Quick emergency job! This bride needed the zipper replaced with a corset back. The bust dart was taken in, and the boning shortened as well, as the dress had previously been altered, most probably for someone much taller.

I had a huge migraine during this job 😫 I was worried I wouldn’t finish since I could barely see properly. Crazy! I mustn’t forget to drink water—it’s so essential!

In the picture, it was looped through every second loop as this was an express second fitting. Of course, I don’t have a proper picture 🙄

The bride came on Wednesday afternoon and collected the dress on Friday afternoon for her Saturday wedding. I definitely don’t recommend it, but things happen. By the book, I should have refused the job, but we all know… no risk, no fun!

This is a wedding dress that we actually put on a scale, as it was so heavy — 4.5 kilograms / 9.9 lb! The dress required many adjustments, but most important was the bustle, so the bride could move freely in this heavily beaded gown. I had a long thinking session with this particular dress — in the end, I added scaffolded loops to withstand the weight, with backup buttons camouflaged among the beaded petals so they'd blend in and stay indistinguishable.

This dress was done on commission for one of the Swindon boutiques — I should mention this alteration was completed at my previous workplace, where I worked as an in-house seamstress.

Need your clothes altered to fit you better?

At Tiny Fitting Room, I love helping you get the perfect fit from the clothes you already own.

From everyday trousers, jeans and skirts to dresses, jackets and coats, even a small alteration can make a huge difference to how your clothes look and feel.

Whether something needs taking in, letting out, shortening, adjusting or simply needs a little tweak, I’m here to help.

I believe the perfect fit gives you confidence. When your clothes fit properly, you feel more comfortable, more confident and more like yourself.

And if you have a special outfit that needs some attention, I also offer wedding dress, bridesmaid and mother-of-the-bride alterations.

Don’t give up on a favourite piece just because it doesn’t fit quite right. Bring it to Tiny Fitting Room and let’s see what we can do.

A little wedding dress alteration story…

Catherine was my very first bride who found me through social media when I started working for myself under the name Tiny Fitting Room, and for that reason she will always have a very special place in my heart.

I am so, so happy I was able to help you with your beautiful wedding dress and be part of such an important time in your life.

Catherine is such a lovely, grounded person and was an absolute pleasure to work with. She knew exactly what she wanted and stuck with her vision right to the very end.

It was such a pleasure watching everything come together and seeing her vision become a reality.

Thank you, Catherine, for trusting me with such an important part of your wedding day. I feel very lucky to have been part of it.

And thank you for being my very first bride to find me through social media. I will always remember that.

Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness forever together ❤️

Mother of the Bride… and a little dress adjusting drama!

My lovely friend bought her mother-of-the-bride dress in a size 18, even though she was actually around a size 10–12.

As part of the usual alterations, I started taking some of the bulk out of the side seams, as you would normally do when bringing a much larger dress down to the correct size.

What I didn’t know was that a few weeks before the wedding, she was off on holiday.

She stopped running, relaxed the diet and, quite rightly, enjoyed herself!

The result? About 3 inches extra around the circumference.

By the time we got closer to the wedding, that dress that had originally been absolutely swimming on her was now very, very snug.

And unfortunately… there was nothing left in the side seams to let out!

So what started as a straightforward alteration turned into a little bit of a challenge — but we got there.

And on the big day, she looked absolutely beautiful and felt amazing.

A little reminder from behind the scenes of dressmaking:

Always account for the possibility of a pre-wedding holiday… especially an all-inclusive one!

So proud of you Doti. You looked gorgeous.

Dress neded:

- Shoulders take in
